I contacted a Veterinary Dermatologist in MD about Nova's scratching. He told me to check into fox mange which I thought I had never heard of until I read about it. My question is when using revolution to treat fox mange how often should I apply it? I do recall my GSD halo being treated for Sarcoptic mange but it turned out she did not have it and I believe the vet had be applying revolution weekly to her. Nova has alot of the signs and symptoms of Sarcoptic mange.

Hi there and thank you for posting! Revolution (Selamectin) can be applied every 4 weeks or every 2 weeks for 4-6 treatments for treatment of Sarcoptic Mange in dogs. I hope this helps and best of luck!

If you are using Revolution as a preventative, every month is fine. Normally, once we diagnose sarcoptic mange and are using Revolution as a treatment, we give a second dose 2 weeks after the first dose, then continue monthly after that. I usually recommend applying topical treatments at night, so you don't have to worry about them rubbing it off, but there isn't any reason that they can't run around the house after treatment. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
